What has been said about this book:

“Rabbi Michael Lerner is one of America's most significant progressive intellectuals and political leaders, and Embracing Israel/Palestine is not only a great conceptual breakthrough in dealing with the Middle East but also demonstrates a methodology for how best to think about global and domestic U.S. politics” Rep. Keith Ellison ( D-Minn.), the first elected Muslim to the U.S. Congress and chair of the Progressive Caucus of the U.S. House of Representatives

Michael Lerner takes a courageous, enlightening position in Embracing Israel/Palestine, not only in speaking as an American Jewish rabbi who cares about both countries, but in his conviction that only real attention to the suffering and historical traumas of both sides can bring about peace.” Jessica Benjamin, psychoanalyst and author of The Bonds of Love

“Rabbi Michael Lerner provides us with a brilliant and hopeful vision of how to transform the Middle East from a cauldron of violence to a vanguard of peace.” Jimmy Carter, 39th president of the United States of America
